Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said it would be tough for the team to find competition for P Sam Koch, and defended his veteran punter. "There aren't too many guys that want to come here and kick or punt," Harbaugh said. "I don't think they see it as being a very fruitful opportunity. But we will find somebody to help us, somebody that wants a chance to kick or punt in the National Football League. I'd like a guy who could do both, if possible -- punt and kick. You'd love to have a lefty, so you can see how hard that is to come across. But, we will get the best guy we can."

The Baltimore Ravens signed undrafted rookie free-agent PK Justin Tucker (Texas). Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Tucker worked out with the Ravens during their rookie minicamp previously. The Ravens wanted another kicker in camp to take some of the load off of PK Billy Cundiff and P Sam Koch; they may also want to provide some competition to Cundiff, who missed a key field goal during last year's playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens general manager/executive vice president Ozzie Newsome announced that the team has signed P Sam Koch to a five-year contract Tuesday, Feb. 1. Koch became the franchise's all-time leading punter in attempts, yards and punts inside the 20-yard line this past season. "We believe that we have the best punter and holder in the NFL, and we wanted to make sure he stayed a Raven," head coach John Harbaugh said.
